Snarky

Challenge #272 has just gone live at Time Out Challenges and this fortnight we challenge you to be

Snarky

This challenge is generously being sponsored by Funky Fossil and they are offering our Top Pick as chosen by the design teams a £25 credit to their store!  The Top Pick will also be invited to join Time Out as a guest designer in a future challenge!

Speaking of guest designers, we are joined this challenge by the incredibly talented Sudbury of Eden land Designs.  Wait until you see what she has created for our challenge this fortnight - do drop by and leave her some comment love!!

How do you interpret snarky?  Susan and my talented team mates have plenty of inspiration for you over on the Challenge Blog!

Snarky isn't really my style so I struggled with this challenge, but in the end I managed the tiniest amount of sarcasm thanks to this great set Comic Book Words Stamp and Die set (which is currently on special) from our sponsor Funky Fossil.   

I stamped some elements from the set onto white cardstock and framed the panel with a black rectangle so it resembled a panel from a comic book (the black frame was stacked three times).  The OMG was stamped, die cut and stacked 4 high so it really popped!

Two of the images (star and border on the bottom) came from much older WMS stamp sets - Halftone Basics and Kaboom.  Speaking of WMS, any fans of Waltzing Mouse Stamps may be excited to know that Claire Brennan is back in business!

Focus on the Sentiment

 

The Sparkles Christmas Challenge #163 has just gone live and the theme this month is

Sentiment as the Focus

I used this sentiment die (LDRS Christmas Wishes) as the focus for this card.  I lined up the sentiment die on this tartan panel (I used a tartan because I wanted something with a definite pattern).  I then stacked the die cut so it would be more stable and layered it on a gold mirror card shadow.  Then I covered the hole left from die cutting the sentiment in step 1, carefully lining up the pattern.  I tried adding a few small die cut Christmas around the sentiment but wasn't happy with any of them and ended up only adding these small golden dots left over from a previous project.

I'd like to enter these fab challenges
